Now reopen following a £35.1m restoration project, Derby Market Hall is a treasure trove of unique finds and delicious treats, perfect for a day of shopping, dining and entertainment in the hustle and bustle of the city.
Step into our lovingly restored, Grade II-listed Victorian market hall, complete with its magnificent roof and lively atmosphere. Inside, you'll find a fantastic mix of stalls selling everything from locally sourced produce to quirky gifts, handmade crafts and vintage clothing.
Foodies will be in heaven – whether you’re looking for ingredients to take home or fancy a bite to eat! Pick up supplies and fresh local produce from our on-site butcher, bakery, fishmonger and deli counter. Revel in the chance to try something new and support local businesses.
Feeling hungry? Come and taste a brand-new dining experience featuring delicious international street food, bars and a brand-new distillery. Sample exotic dishes from Asia, South America, the Caribbean and beyond, indulge in authentic Italian gelato, Dutch pancakes and pastries, or grab a tasty sandwich on your lunch break. Raise a glass as you enjoy a cheeky cocktail crafted with spirits distilled on-site at our distillery.
Meet local artists, makers and creators in our new Make & Trade spaces on the First Floor. See bespoke products being made right before your eyes, discover handcrafted gems you won’t find anywhere else, or find a unique gift for someone special.
And Derby Market Hall isn't just about shopping and eating. It's a place where you can experience the vibrant heart of Derby. Regular events and activities will bring a buzz to the market throughout the week. Themed markets will showcase our unique mix of products and traders.
